Tos Kostermans was born in 1958 in Haarlem. At the age of thirteen he already took painting lessons with the Haarlem artist Albert Loots. Here he learned the techniques that he could use for his creativity. After many wanderings through the United States and Spain, he now lives in Zandvoort, where he still finds daily inspiration for every Tos Kosterman's painting. But you also see the travels and discovered cultures in the Tos Kostermans paintings.
The style of Tos Kostermans is realistic on the one hand, and impressionistic on the other. This special combination ensures that every painting attracts attention. This also applies to his unique color palette and the feminine beauty that he portrays with great love.
